Chapter 378 Who is the cruelest king in Manchester?
"Beep!"
Looking at the score of 3 to 3 on the LED screen above the stadium, all the fans in the entire Etihad Stadium stood up to watch the game.
The referee John Brooks blew the kick-off whistle for the eighth time, and the time has reached 8 minutes and 93 seconds, which is very close to the theoretical 44-minute stoppage time.
De Bruyne made a strong pass back in the middle circle and kicked goalkeeper Ederson directly. Ederson had already stood on the top of the arc of his penalty area, and after receiving the ball, he drove forward with a big foot.
The other 10 Manchester City players all rushed forward.
They don't accept the ending of being absolutely flat!
The ball glides forward quickly, crosses the center line and begins to fall.
On the sidelines, fans, coaches and substitute players of both sides were all nervously watching the game with their fists clenched, causing Zhan Jun to shout out his classic saying again: "How can you not love the Premier League like this! "
The ball flew to the left rib and fell. B Fee did not snatch Foden, who was the only replacement for Manchester City, but Foden did not hit the front position in the confrontation, and the ball floated to the wing.
Akanji overwhelmed Dalot and headed the ball back. Foden caught the ball and saw that there was no line breakthrough. He immediately sent a cross pass with his right foot and passed it to the right. De Bruyne was there!
B Fei stretched out his legs to block, but failed to block, the ball flew up at half height, and Chen Xiaoliang, who was guarding the top of the arc, swooped forward and jumped!
His scalp touched the ball!
The ball changed direction slightly!
[Superstar Mission: 5/5]
However, when he landed, Bellingham, who was plugging in on the side, volleyed directly to meet the ball, hit a deciduous ball, and flew straight to the left side of Manchester United's goal!
Zhan Jun: "De Gea!"
"The Premier League Golden Glove made another contribution last season and blocked the ball!"
"If De Gea's fight for the high-altitude ball is still slightly flawed, his save ability on the goal line, this game proved that he is still one of the best in the world!"
"Let's see! Manchester United even launched a counterattack!"
"They didn't even accept the result of a draw!"
"Lima's big foot clearance passed to the left!"
"Ganacho rushed up to catch the ball and crossed it to Xiaoliang!"
"Xiao Liang advances! His physical strength is still abundant!"
"Anthony on the right also rushed forward!"
"From our point of view, Edson should have retreated behind the penalty spot because he was afraid of being lobbed from a long distance by Xiaoliang again!"
"Anthony on the right started to retract!"
"But Manchester City's return to defense was very fast this time, and all the players who hadn't rushed up to their positions just now retreated!"
"Xiaoliang took the ball and slowed down. It seems that he is going to organize the last wave! He raised his hands again and stretched out nine fingers!"
"The time has exceeded 94 minutes! There were boos from the Manchester City fans at the scene. Could it be that the Ferguson time in the past should now be said to be Ten Hag's time, and it will be reproduced at the Etihad Stadium?!"
"Manchester United are all pressing up! Only Lima is at the back!"
"Bellingham stuck to Xiao Liang, but he couldn't steal the ball from Xiao Liang's feet!"
"Haaland is also rushing to double-team!"
"Xiao Liang's biography!"
"Varane!!!"
"Edson!!!"
"There is no chance for a follow-up shot! The siege is cleared!"
"Wow! At the last moment, the goalkeepers of the two teams sent their magic pounces one after another, trying to ensure..."
Zhang Lu suddenly yelled and interrupted Zhan Jun: "Not good! Manchester City counterattacked!"
Zhan Jun: "The last time! Why don't you be so nervous!"
"The clearance in the restricted area of seat B was more like a long pass. It was passed to the left side of the front court, and Harland rushed up to receive the ball!"
"Lima rushed to defend..."
"Harland forced Lima away! Lima fell to the ground!"
"The referee didn't say anything!!!"
Now, even the buttocks of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu who were commenting in the broadcast room left their seats, their palms and backs were all sweaty with excitement, and the countless fans in front of the screen didn't know how to accommodate their hands that had nowhere to rest, how to adjust Breathing, how to restrain the excited and trembling body!
"De Gea strikes!"
"The restricted area line on the left!!!"
"Haaland shook off De Gea!"
"Haaland pushes the empty goal!!!"
"This ball..."
Zhang Lu: "Hey! Hey! Ouch!"
Audience: "OH! NO!"
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang!!!"
"Block the ball on the goal line!!!"
"Beep! Beep~~~!"
"The Manchester City players all rushed to the referee, complaining that the ball had crossed the goal line!"
"However, the referee John Brooks waved his hand firmly! And the whistle for the end of the game has been blown!!!"
Zhang Lu: "Where is the picture of Hawkeye?"
"Where's the picture of Hawkeye?!"
Zhan Jun: "Here comes the picture!!!"
"It's a hair's breadth away! Four-fifths of Haaland's shots have already crossed the goal line! Another 0.05 seconds later may have really scored!"
On the field, the Manchester United players looked up and saw the eagle-eye picture of the goal line on the big screen, and rushed towards Chen Xiaoliang excitedly!
Not to mention 2 goals and 1 assist, Varane was almost given another assist in the final countdown stage, and in turn, he returned to the defense all the way and staged a goal line rescue!
Sun Jihai, who was in the VIP area of Manchester City in the stands, also stood up just now, pumping his fists excitedly to celebrate!When he played for Manchester City, his famous scene was the goal line clearance after galloping back to the defense!
But only two seconds later, he realized that his identity today is a member of the Hall of Fame of the Manchester City club... so he could only forcefully restrain himself and sat down...
Zhan Jun: "3 to 3, tonight's Manchester derby, played a soul-stirring battle!"
"It reminds me of the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on September 20, 2009, which was voted the best game in the Premier League for 9 years!"
"At that time, the two sides also drew 3-3. In the final countdown, Michael Owen made a lore, helping the Red Devils defend the home court and take all 3 points!"
"Actually, both teams had chances in the final countdown today, but the goalkeepers of the two teams, together with the new No. 7 Chen Xiaoliang of the Red Devils, staged a wonderful drama that turned the tide!"
"In the second half of the season, the second round of the Manchester Derby between the two sides will be held at Old Trafford. If there are no accidents such as make-up matches, it will be held in April. After the winter window and the team's further running-in, I believe the two sides This team will become stronger, and there will be even greater sparks!"
"Okay, thanks for watching the live broadcast of the Premier League brought by Penguin Sports, see you next time!"
On the sidelines, Chen Xiaoliang met Harland again. Haaland was a little unconvinced, but his emotions came from football and belonged to football, and he had no grievances other than football:
"Chen, I didn't lose to you."
Chen Xiaoliang glanced at this giant baby with a height of 195: "It seems like I lost to you!"
Haaland: "We must decide the winner next time!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Then you are doomed?"
The two parted ways at a fork in the road and each went to their own locker rooms. Harland did not forget to leave a sentence: "I will never lose!"
De Bruyne behind him and Casemiro, who was on crutches, couldn't help but glanced at each other, and said something in their hearts:
"These two are so funny..."
The Manchester United players who returned to the locker room were very happy. Although they were chasing the goal of victory before the game, the strong control of Manchester City during the game made them clearly feel the huge difficulties they faced in the away game.
Leading, being equalized, leading again, being equalized again, then overtaken, and finally tied, plus a goal line rescue, although only 1 point was gained in the end, but the team's performance today is enough to walk out of Ittiha with its head held high German Stadium.
Ten Hag and the coaching staff are also very satisfied with the performance of the players.
Short boards are short boards. Players with insufficient abilities must rely on transfers to operate. During the season, as long as they show how much ability and determination, they are qualified players.
But looking at Chen Xiaoliang, who gave a concluding speech to the players in the locker room after the game and encouraged everyone to challenge all powerful opponents in the away game, Ten Hag felt a little more subtle emotion in his heart.
Don't wait until the next day, after 5 minutes after the game, his wonderful shots, those shots of motivating his teammates on the field, including the shot of Fred's buttocks, and the moments when he raised his hand and made tactical gestures, were overwhelming. spread across the Internet.
As the head coach, Ten Hag led the team to say whether it is short or long. Unlike Gerrard, he was a top player when he was a professional player. He is the absolute core of the team and the leader of the locker room.
He is also not like Mourinho, who has brought the best group of players and the biggest clubs in the world.
Ten Hag has never met a player like Chen Xiaoliang. He is different from Ronaldo, B Fei, and Casemiro, not to mention De Ligt, Frankie De Jong, etc. people.
He also had to ask his seniors for advice.
After returning to the Carrington base after the game, the team disbanded on the spot. The next two weeks are the national team competition cycle. For the few players who do not have the national team, such as Chen Xiaoliang, De Gea, etc., Ten Hag also gave A day off.
Since it was an afternoon game, it was still early when I got home. Chen Xiaoliang, who never went to nightclubs to celebrate, stayed at home and watched the replay of the game excitedly with Cesko, Kwa, Livakovic and others who lived nearby. The inner feelings on the field at that time.
A good game is naturally worth repeating.
The next day, the club sent a notice, and the invitation letter of the "French Football" magazine under the "L'Equipe" was sent again:
"To the respected Manchester United, Mr Chen Xiaoliang:
诚挚的邀请您，于2023年10月29日晚19点，出席位于巴黎夏特莱剧院举行的第68届金球奖颁奖典礼。
EPA Group, "L'Equipe" and "French Football"
The specific itinerary and dress code are attached at the back.
It is said that it will arrive at night, but as before, a separate hotel suite and private car transfer are arranged.
Chen Xiaoliang, who has won the Copa Award once and the 10th Golden Globe Award once, understands that living in a room is basically equivalent to winning a prize...
Because not to mention the 10th place in the Golden Globe Awards, it is the 2nd place. They all belong to the kind that does not need to go on stage to win awards. In theory, not attending the ceremony will not have much impact, so as long as the itinerary and dress meet the requirements, it is really okay to arrive at the scene at 19:[-] no problem.
But the award-winning guests are different. The organizer will inform you of the award one day in advance, and then pre-assign a special person to coordinate the awarding process, various details, seats in the audience, and confirm the time of the award-winning speech, etc.
Therefore, the award-winning trophy needs to arrange a hotel room.
Chen Xiaoliang, who usually doesn't worry too much about this matter, is now looking forward to the ceremony that is less than a week away. He specifically checked the Internet. At this time, the odds between him and Messi winning It's already even, and it's all 1 for 1.5!
It would be false to say that I am not excited, but Chen Xiaoliang also took a look at another line of odds. On the "Socrates Award", an award that symbolizes humanity, social welfare and charity, Chen Xiaoliang's odds are 1 to 10, although it looks better than gold The ball prize is much lower, but it occupies the first place...
This... Forget it, he didn't worry about it anymore, anyway, the answer will be revealed soon.
The next day, Chen Xiaoliang went out early in the morning to go for a run with his sisters Hua, Sesko, Kwa, and Livakovic. As long as the weather is not too bad, 60 kilometers in 10 minutes is an option that does not move the radar every day.
In fact, according to his physical strength and speed, especially in the World Track and Field Championships, all marathons can run into the top 30. It is easy to reach a pace of 10-3.5 minutes/km for 4 kilometers, but their morning run is to give Warm up in advance for a day's training, and it is not advisable to consume too much energy, so several people also strictly control the pace.
But I don’t need to train today. I haven’t had a good time in the city since I came to Manchester. I couldn’t stand Erica’s soft-heartedness. A few people rested at home for a while and decided to dress up in disguise. Put on a peaked cap, big sunglasses and loose The sweater, let David drive a few people to the center of Manchester.
Unlike the few of them going to the city, Ten Hag was driving by himself at this time, from Hale Village (Hale Village) in Cheshire to Wilmrose to visit Sir Alex Ferguson.
The cars of both sides met on the road and stopped facing each other at a traffic light.
Kewa's car was driving in front of Chen Xiaoliang's car, and Cesko, who was sitting in the co-pilot, saw at a glance that it was Ten Hahe's car, and immediately dialed Chen Xiaoliang's cell phone and shouted: "Liangzi, look, it's on the other side! coach!"
Chen Xiaoliang was sitting on the co-pilot of his own car, asking his sisters what interesting places there were in Huacheng, when he heard Cesko's words, he looked up, sure enough.
He immediately sent a text message to Ten Hag: "Hey, coach, the weather is rare, let's go to the city for a walk, see you at the training ground tomorrow, I wish you a good day."
Polite and courteous, there is nothing to hide, but there is a little less intimacy and more life.
Ten Hahe didn't have a driver, so he drove by himself. As soon as the traffic light passed, he had no time to type, so he sent a voice message back to Chen Xiaoliang: "Relax, pay attention to safety, see you!"
After listening to this voice, even Erica in the back seat said that this coach is very different from the two "uncles" before.
In her heart, of course, Gerald, who lives and eats with Chen Xiaoliang, is younger, more energetic, and more joking, is the most interesting.
A group of people entered the city, and finally arrived at the largest commercial facility in Manchester, the "Manchester Adele" shopping center under the guidance of the sisters.
Since it was Sunday noon, many stores had just opened, and there were not too many people. It would be lively in the afternoon, but a group of people dressed in the same clothes as ordinary young people were not recognized.
Chen Xiaoliang specifically asked everyone to keep a low profile. Once recognized, they had no choice but to leave quickly.
When I ran to a square, I saw more than a hundred people in front of me, and a loudspeaker was playing the host's shouts and cheerful music to mobilize the atmosphere.
Ali called everyone to join in the fun, pointing to a poster and said curiously: "I know this person, but why does he look a little strange?"
Following her fingers, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
You say he is Hazard, but he doesn't seem to be, you say he is not, he is clearly...
Sesco was also puzzled: "Is this an actor who was recruited to imitate? But it is clearly written on the poster that it is Hazard..."
Chen Xiaoliang took a closer look and laughed loudly: "This is Hazard's younger brother, Kylian Hazard. The two look very similar, but his younger brother plays football very generally. He is currently playing in the Belgian second division. Baker... still belongs to the kind of thousand-year-old iron bench..."
"This company is interesting...what is it doing?"
David heard their chat, and had already squeezed in to get an advertisement. The surrounding was too noisy, and the host could not hear what the host was saying. Only after seeing the advertisement, did everyone know that it was a "Burger King" competition, and the rule was to watch Who eats more hamburgers in the specified time!To put it bluntly, it is the Big Eater Challenge.
No wonder the high imitation version of Hazard is invited to endorse...
Such a boring activity, everyone was about to leave, suddenly, Chen Xiaoliang felt something, he turned around and looked at the crowd, and found that there was also a person looking at him!
Fuck, with a height of 195, although he is wearing sunglasses as big as a gas mask and a hat with a dreadlocks wig, who else can he be with this figure and this posture? !
Why did this guy appear here?
Chen Xiaoliang raised his hand in greeting, and the man also raised his hand in greeting.
Who would have thought that when the two raised their hands, the surrounding crowd would all look over.
"Not good! Did it get discovered?!"
Chen Xiaoliang was startled, and thought that there were probably more than 200 people here, and if they were discovered, they would not be able to leave.
However, Erica's reminder with a smile made him understand that the actual situation was more embarrassing than this:
"The host told you to go up."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Why did you ask me to go up?!"
With a stern humor, David looked around seriously to ensure Chen Xiaoliang's safety, and said coldly: "The host asked who else would participate in today's competition, so you raised your hand yourself."
Chen Xiaoliang: "I..."
He just wanted to say no, but unexpectedly "that person" came onto the stage from the other side, and even stretched out his index finger to make a seductive gesture, provoking Chen Xiaoliang to come on stage.
"Oh shit..."
Chen Xiaoliang immediately passed through the crowd and walked up.
The host introduced himself: "Good afternoon everyone, welcome to the 31st Burger King Challenge in Manchester. I am today's host, Howard Stark!"
Sparse applause from the audience...
The inexplicably named Stark host sent the microphone to the ten contestants one by one. After hearing it, Chen Xiaoliang realized that among the other eight, except for one or two temporary spectators, several of them had also participated in various competitions before. The stomach king challenged a professional player, and he and "that person" belonged to short-circuited brains and bumped into each other by mistake...
The two went up from both sides and stood on both sides of the line respectively. The microphone was first passed to "that person":
"May I ask this young man who is full of hip-hop flavor, what is his name? How old is he this year? Where is he from?"
"The man" paused, and replied: "My name is Eric, I'm 22 this year, and I'm from the Netherlands."
Chen Xiaoliang felt "fuck" again in his heart, wishing he could give that person a middle finger.
This is clearly taking advantage of himself, and he even used Ten Hahe's name and nationality to declare his identity.
Soon, the others finished speaking one by one, and finally came to Chen Xiaoliang.
Host Stark: "Eh? This guy has black hair, is he from Asia?"
Chen Xiaoliang quickly denied: "No, no."
He speaks British English that is more standard than the British, making it difficult to connect him with Asians.
Host Stark: "Wow! At first glance, I think you look a bit like Manchester United star Chen Xiaoliang! Are you his fan?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Yes, yes, he is my favorite."
"That person" burst out laughing.
The audience under the stage rustled: "Don't tell me, it really looks a bit like it."
"Ah, there are a lot of people imitating Chen Xiaoliang now. The handsome guy who has both Eastern and Western aesthetics is online. If you don't imitate him, can you imitate the ugly one of Harland?"
"That makes sense...too bad I don't have black hair..."
"That person" who couldn't help laughing just now clenched his fists with both hands...
The host Stark asked again: "What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?"
Chen Xiaoliang was ready a long time ago: "My name is Alfinger, I am from Stavanger, Norway, and I am 19 years old."
After finishing speaking, he spoke in authentic Norwegian.
"That person" couldn't help but spit out: "Thank you..." Then he shut up quickly, and the "special" behind it was not said.
Chen Xiaoliang laughed heartily, you pretended to be my coach, I'll just be your father, let's see who takes advantage of who!
Then the host explained a bunch of rules. In short, when 10 people sit down and there are hamburgers in front of them, see who eats the most within 3 minutes. There are water and seasonings on the side to help them swallow. The three of them participated in the second round. In addition to the £1000 bonus, the final champion will get a trophy for the top three. The funny thing is that the shape of the trophy is the same as that of the Champions League trophy... except that the logo of UEFA on it has been changed. Became a big hamburger...
The two ignored it before they sat down. There was no winner last night, and today they must compete!
"Beep!" A whistle sounded, and the game began!
Chen Xiaoliang grabbed the hamburger in front of him and put it in his mouth. He usually eats an astonishing amount. The mechanism equivalent to two tubes of physical strength every day makes his food intake almost twice that of other players. Burgers, just put them in your mouth and swallow them in a few bites.
Seeing him gobbling it up, all the sisters in the audience were laughing. Although they didn't know why Chen Xiaoliang was fighting so hard, the way he wanted to win was so different from the easy-going look in his daily life, it seemed very funny .
Only David couldn't help but smile while looking around with high nervousness, ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time.
5...10...15...
Because the two are strong and tall, the way they picked up the hamburger and delivered it to their mouths was not too cruel. The audience off the court was originally in a slump, but when they were messed with, they immediately became excited.
"Eat! Eat! Hurry up!"
"Eat more! No money!"
"I knew I would go up too, it seems to be quite delicious."
"Come on!"
...
"Beep!"
After 3 minutes, Chen Xiaoliang swallowed his last mouthful, and immediately looked at the other end of the long table.
Burger Hill seems to have dropped as much as I did.
After a brief communication between the host and the scoring referee, the results of the 10 people came out quickly.
Chen Xiaoliang ate 3 in 18 minutes, and "that man" also ate 18, but they could only tie for second place. The first player was a middle-aged uncle with a big belly, who ate 2.
The three advanced to the finals.
The final time is still 3 minutes, but the burger has changed from the "Big Mac" with two steaks to the "Ruthless King" with four steaks.
Chen Xiaoliang is actually a bit full... Even though he has two tubes of physical strength and twice the food intake, these 18 food intake is still unattainable for ordinary people.
But he glanced at "that man" sitting on the left of the middle-aged uncle, who seemed to be still eager to try and gear up. He gritted his teeth, rubbed his belly, drank his saliva, showed the confidence to win, and shouted that he was The most powerful slogan before the game:
Go Nimad!
Hamburger!
hiccup~
"Hahahaha!"
Kewa and Cesko supported each other, laughing so much that they were about to cry, and the tears couldn't be stopped at all. Helena was worried that Chen Xiaoliang would be spoiled, but she also covered her mouth.
We are professionally trained and generally don't laugh unless we can't help it.
"Beep!"
The host Stark whistled again, and the only three people on the stage began a decisive battle amidst the cheers of the audience!
"another one!"
"not enough!"
"another one!"
Chen Xiaoliang sneaked a peek at "that person", while grabbing with both hands, both hands were hard, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
When he ate for 2 minutes, he couldn't hold it anymore, and seeing "that person"'s hand slowed down, the two looked at each other through the sunglasses, as if they said to each other: "Why don't you forget it?"
But the "expression" between the eyebrows did not stop the movement of the hand, Chen Xiaoliang saw that "the man" was still sending it to his mouth, so his hand did not dare to delay for a moment.
"Beep~~~"
A long whistle sounded, and the game was finally over!
The two spread out on the chair as if they were relieved, belching and rubbing their stomachs non-stop.
The referee makes quick statistics, and the host announces the results!
"From Norway...this...excuse me, what's your name?"
Chen Xiaoliang was so angry that he opened his mouth forcibly, fearing that the hamburger would spit out if he spoke loudly: "Hi'er~ Alfinger, from Norway...Hi'er~ Stavanger City!"
Host Stark: "Okay! This Mr. Alfinger ate 14 in the final!"
A decline in the record is inevitable, after all, I can't eat anymore...
Then the host walked up to "that person":
"Mr. Eric from the Netherlands, he ate... 14 in the final!"
"Fuck!" Chen Xiaoliang was startled, turned his head to look at "that person", and found that the other person was also looking at him.
What the two of them are thinking at the moment is, don't worry about overtime, I really can't eat it!
Host Stark: "Finally, Mr. Keane from Manchester, he ate in the final..."
"22!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Keen for being the champion of this year's Burger King competition!"
Chen Xiaoliang and "that man" looked at the uncle in the middle, thinking: "What?! This middle-aged uncle can eat so much?!"
And this uncle named Kean, who also wore sunglasses and a peaked cap, was still wiping his mouth lightly, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.
Later, a man wearing a hamburger coat first presented the bonus and the trophy to the uncle. The uncle waved to the audience in a graceful manner. Big applause.
But then there was a problem...
A runner-up trophy and a third runner-up trophy, but the two are tied, how can this be done?
The host asked the two if there was anyone who didn't mind and was willing to take the No.3 trophy, and the two said in unison: "NO!"
The host was taken aback for a moment, and then asked if he wanted an overtime game.
This time the two answered more firmly and quickly: "NO!!!"
In the end, they could only make a compromise. The two of them hold the trophy side up and take a photo, and then the runner-up and the third runner-up will receive a prize of 300 pounds...
Just lifting the trophy is restless, the two of them each hold the handle on one side, you use force, I use force, just after the photo was taken, the plastic trophy cracked...
"WOW..."
There was an exclamation from the audience.
In the end, the prize of 300 pounds was also ignored, saying that it would be donated to charity, and then the two walked off the stage with the satisfied uncle.
Just when he was about to leave, the uncle stopped the two of them: "Don't go, I'll tell you who you two are when you leave."
"Um?!"
Chen Xiaoliang and "that person" were startled. If their real bodies were to be announced here, they would be in big trouble. They couldn't even run fast after eating a stomach full of hamburgers.
Chen Xiaoliang quickly looked at David, signaling him to take measures to deal with the intruders, but David followed behind with a smile on his face.
When Chen Xiaoliang looked at Sister Hua and the others again, he was not at all nervous.
Walking to a deserted corner, the uncle took off his glasses, and Chen Xiaoliang and "that man" suddenly realized.
"Fuck! Riise! It's you! How the hell are you so good at eating?!"
Riser laughed: "I didn't expect the two of you to go up, Erlin, why do you have the time to hang out? Don't you go to the national team?"
"That man" took off his sunglasses, and the sisters and the others understood why Chen Xiaoliang was working so hard. It turned out to be Harland!
Harland: "Hi... too many games, the national team didn't call me up for the friendly match, and let me have a good rest in Manchester. Raise your hand to participate. I absolutely cannot watch him take the trophy!"
Riise is not only Chen Xiaoliang's agent, but also Haaland's seniors in the national team, while old Harland and Solskjaer are Riise's seniors in the national team, so the relationship between Riise and the Harland family can be regarded as good.
Harland: "Chen, I didn't lose to you."
Chen Xiaoliang: "You must be sick from riding a horse! Did I lose?!"
Two people: "Hi'er~"
Everyone: "Hahahaha!"
The two sighed. Although they were tired, this special contest was also very interesting.
Erica asked mischievously, "Uncle Reese, what are you going to do with your £1000?"
Riise smiled and patted his stomach: "Can I invite you to dinner?"
Erica: "Okay, okay, we're still hungry! What's for dinner?"
Riise looked at Chen Xiaoliang and Harland, and put on his sunglasses again: "What are you eating, eat a hamburger!"
Chen Xiaoliang and Harland: "Don't mention the word hamburger...I'm going to die..."
On the other side, in the Wilmlows manor, Sir Ferguson was chatting with Ten Hag. On the table in front of them was a bottle of rare red wine. Collecting red wine and buying racehorses were Ferguson's two major hobbies.
Ferguson: "So, I've said so much, you should be able to let go, Eric."
Ten Hag nodded.
In addition to the routine board of directors, Ferguson has rarely actively communicated with the current head coach since his retirement, especially Mourinho, Van Gaal and others are famous coaches themselves and have their own distinctive coaching style.
This is completely contrary to the rumors that people listen to politics behind a curtain.
I think when Moyes was coaching, the players in the team found it difficult to accept many things about Moyes, which also led to inevitable confusion.
For example, before the start of the season, the Manchester United team played a summer warm-up match on the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. At that time, Moyes asked the players to jog on the beach, and the players immediately put forward different opinions.
With Manchester United's popularity, training in public like this would quickly attract fans and lead to chaos.
The security guard who accompanied the team also expressed the same opinion, saying to Moyes, "You are no longer in Everton, this is a giant".
Moyes didn't listen to everyone's advice and insisted on jogging on the beach. In the end, just 5 minutes later, the whole team was still stretching, and dozens of fans rushed over after hearing the news, and even called their friends to say hello People come to watch and take pictures.
In view of safety, the security immediately canceled the training. This incident also made the players feel that he could not adapt to the giants from the very beginning after Moyes took over.
Evra, the boss of the team, called Ferguson specifically for this and asked him to come forward to help Moyes, but Ferguson's original words were:
"I will consider your suggestion, and I will find a way to talk to him. But he is my personal choice. This is the biggest opportunity in his life. I don't think I should give him too much guidance on his work. , I will still keep a proper distance, which is fair to him."
Since then, he has rarely been directly involved in team affairs unless he was working within the scope of the director's responsibilities. Coupled with the Glazer family and his own health problems, as a non-equity and non-executive director appointed by the board of directors, in fact his power It is also very small, more like Sir Bobby Charlton, who had not yet suffered from Alzheimer's disease, played a role in connecting fans and maintaining the relationship between all walks of life in British football.
After Ten Hag came to Manchester United, this is the second time that the Dutchman took the initiative to find Sir Alex Ferguson. The last time was on the eve of the League Cup final last season. The doubts about some details of the final also received the full support of Sir Alex.
Ten Hag: "I can understand, but I hope that when it comes to the critical moment, I mean, if it happens, you can support me."
Ferguson: "I will, Eric, I will, if someone is above the club, as long as I am alive, I will."
"But please also believe that this kid is still young, but the leadership he has shown is absolutely unprecedented. I told you a lot about Roy Keane. Believe me, you know, on the pitch. The players, especially the core players, should be given considerable freedom to control the game by themselves."
"I've called Keane the best staff before and I've said he's the commander on the field."
"The kid in front of you will naturally make others submit to him. He is only 19 years old. You should try to trust him. He is helping you."
"The children are different now. I have stopped using hair dryers in the last five or six years of teaching. These children born in the 90s and 00s are very sensitive and have strong self-esteem. The education environment and growth environment are also different. gone."
"I am a descendant of the working class. I grew up in an environment where my father was full of profanity and alcohol, so when the head coach treated me in the same way, I later treated that group of players in the same way. Something's wrong."
"But now you try? You try to say something slightly racist to a player, or something that involves abusive family members. It is very likely that they will apply for a transfer the next day, and then ask you to apologize publicly in the media."
"Eric, you have to think about it, these things that are inconvenient for you to do, this kid has done everything for you in the locker room. He is helping you, whether on or off the court, trust me."
"At Manchester United, the word BOSS means to control everything, not just tactics. You can't even limit whether a 19-year-old kid can pass 20 meters or 40 meters on the field to make them believe in you. judge, and trust their judgment.”
"Really, I assure you with my coaching experience for so many years, you have met one of the best staff, hundreds of times better than Roy Keane."
Ten Hag nodded. He was struggling to hear Ferguson's Scottish accent, but he understood the meaning.
Soon, Ten Hag drove away amid repeated thanks.
Ferguson, who was standing at the door waving, heard his wife Cathy's question:
"What do you think of him?"
Ferguson hesitated: "It's hard to say, but he is a very smart person, willing to learn, willing to think, and has a way of handling personnel affairs. He can minimize the damage of Ronaldo's child in all aspects. It is not easy. .”
"But he lacks something. This lack is something that Guardiola, Mourinho and Klopp have firmly attached to their souls after years of hard work. This can only be obtained by himself. gone."
"Yes, only by himself."

(End of this chapter)
"Beep!"
Looking at the score of 3 to 3 on the LED screen above the stadium, all the fans in the entire Etihad Stadium stood up to watch the game.
The referee John Brooks blew the kick-off whistle for the eighth time, and the time has reached 8 minutes and 93 seconds, which is very close to the theoretical 44-minute stoppage time.
De Bruyne made a strong pass back in the middle circle and kicked goalkeeper Ederson directly. Ederson had already stood on the top of the arc of his penalty area, and after receiving the ball, he drove forward with a big foot.
The other 10 Manchester City players all rushed forward.
They don't accept the ending of being absolutely flat!
The ball glides forward quickly, crosses the center line and begins to fall.
On the sidelines, fans, coaches and substitute players of both sides were all nervously watching the game with their fists clenched, causing Zhan Jun to shout out his classic saying again: "How can you not love the Premier League like this! "
The ball flew to the left rib and fell. B Fee did not snatch Foden, who was the only replacement for Manchester City, but Foden did not hit the front position in the confrontation, and the ball floated to the wing.
Akanji overwhelmed Dalot and headed the ball back. Foden caught the ball and saw that there was no line breakthrough. He immediately sent a cross pass with his right foot and passed it to the right. De Bruyne was there!
B Fei stretched out his legs to block, but failed to block, the ball flew up at half height, and Chen Xiaoliang, who was guarding the top of the arc, swooped forward and jumped!
His scalp touched the ball!
The ball changed direction slightly!
[Superstar Mission: 5/5]
However, when he landed, Bellingham, who was plugging in on the side, volleyed directly to meet the ball, hit a deciduous ball, and flew straight to the left side of Manchester United's goal!
Zhan Jun: "De Gea!"
"The Premier League Golden Glove made another contribution last season and blocked the ball!"
"If De Gea's fight for the high-altitude ball is still slightly flawed, his save ability on the goal line, this game proved that he is still one of the best in the world!"
"Let's see! Manchester United even launched a counterattack!"
"They didn't even accept the result of a draw!"
"Lima's big foot clearance passed to the left!"
"Ganacho rushed up to catch the ball and crossed it to Xiaoliang!"
"Xiao Liang advances! His physical strength is still abundant!"
"Anthony on the right also rushed forward!"
"From our point of view, Edson should have retreated behind the penalty spot because he was afraid of being lobbed from a long distance by Xiaoliang again!"
"Anthony on the right started to retract!"
"But Manchester City's return to defense was very fast this time, and all the players who hadn't rushed up to their positions just now retreated!"
"Xiaoliang took the ball and slowed down. It seems that he is going to organize the last wave! He raised his hands again and stretched out nine fingers!"
"The time has exceeded 94 minutes! There were boos from the Manchester City fans at the scene. Could it be that the Ferguson time in the past should now be said to be Ten Hag's time, and it will be reproduced at the Etihad Stadium?!"
"Manchester United are all pressing up! Only Lima is at the back!"
"Bellingham stuck to Xiao Liang, but he couldn't steal the ball from Xiao Liang's feet!"
"Haaland is also rushing to double-team!"
"Xiao Liang's biography!"
"Varane!!!"
"Edson!!!"
"There is no chance for a follow-up shot! The siege is cleared!"
"Wow! At the last moment, the goalkeepers of the two teams sent their magic pounces one after another, trying to ensure..."
Zhang Lu suddenly yelled and interrupted Zhan Jun: "Not good! Manchester City counterattacked!"
Zhan Jun: "The last time! Why don't you be so nervous!"
"The clearance in the restricted area of seat B was more like a long pass. It was passed to the left side of the front court, and Harland rushed up to receive the ball!"
"Lima rushed to defend..."
"Harland forced Lima away! Lima fell to the ground!"
"The referee didn't say anything!!!"
Now, even the buttocks of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu who were commenting in the broadcast room left their seats, their palms and backs were all sweaty with excitement, and the countless fans in front of the screen didn't know how to accommodate their hands that had nowhere to rest, how to adjust Breathing, how to restrain the excited and trembling body!
"De Gea strikes!"
"The restricted area line on the left!!!"
"Haaland shook off De Gea!"
"Haaland pushes the empty goal!!!"
"This ball..."
Zhang Lu: "Hey! Hey! Ouch!"
Audience: "OH! NO!"
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang!!!"
"Block the ball on the goal line!!!"
"Beep! Beep~~~!"
"The Manchester City players all rushed to the referee, complaining that the ball had crossed the goal line!"
"However, the referee John Brooks waved his hand firmly! And the whistle for the end of the game has been blown!!!"
Zhang Lu: "Where is the picture of Hawkeye?"
"Where's the picture of Hawkeye?!"
Zhan Jun: "Here comes the picture!!!"
"It's a hair's breadth away! Four-fifths of Haaland's shots have already crossed the goal line! Another 0.05 seconds later may have really scored!"
On the field, the Manchester United players looked up and saw the eagle-eye picture of the goal line on the big screen, and rushed towards Chen Xiaoliang excitedly!
Not to mention 2 goals and 1 assist, Varane was almost given another assist in the final countdown stage, and in turn, he returned to the defense all the way and staged a goal line rescue!
Sun Jihai, who was in the VIP area of Manchester City in the stands, also stood up just now, pumping his fists excitedly to celebrate!When he played for Manchester City, his famous scene was the goal line clearance after galloping back to the defense!
But only two seconds later, he realized that his identity today is a member of the Hall of Fame of the Manchester City club... so he could only forcefully restrain himself and sat down...
Zhan Jun: "3 to 3, tonight's Manchester derby, played a soul-stirring battle!"
"It reminds me of the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on September 20, 2009, which was voted the best game in the Premier League for 9 years!"
"At that time, the two sides also drew 3-3. In the final countdown, Michael Owen made a lore, helping the Red Devils defend the home court and take all 3 points!"
"Actually, both teams had chances in the final countdown today, but the goalkeepers of the two teams, together with the new No. 7 Chen Xiaoliang of the Red Devils, staged a wonderful drama that turned the tide!"
"In the second half of the season, the second round of the Manchester Derby between the two sides will be held at Old Trafford. If there are no accidents such as make-up matches, it will be held in April. After the winter window and the team's further running-in, I believe the two sides This team will become stronger, and there will be even greater sparks!"
"Okay, thanks for watching the live broadcast of the Premier League brought by Penguin Sports, see you next time!"
On the sidelines, Chen Xiaoliang met Harland again. Haaland was a little unconvinced, but his emotions came from football and belonged to football, and he had no grievances other than football:
"Chen, I didn't lose to you."
Chen Xiaoliang glanced at this giant baby with a height of 195: "It seems like I lost to you!"
Haaland: "We must decide the winner next time!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Then you are doomed?"
The two parted ways at a fork in the road and each went to their own locker rooms. Harland did not forget to leave a sentence: "I will never lose!"
De Bruyne behind him and Casemiro, who was on crutches, couldn't help but glanced at each other, and said something in their hearts:
"These two are so funny..."
The Manchester United players who returned to the locker room were very happy. Although they were chasing the goal of victory before the game, the strong control of Manchester City during the game made them clearly feel the huge difficulties they faced in the away game.
Leading, being equalized, leading again, being equalized again, then overtaken, and finally tied, plus a goal line rescue, although only 1 point was gained in the end, but the team's performance today is enough to walk out of Ittiha with its head held high German Stadium.
Ten Hag and the coaching staff are also very satisfied with the performance of the players.
Short boards are short boards. Players with insufficient abilities must rely on transfers to operate. During the season, as long as they show how much ability and determination, they are qualified players.
But looking at Chen Xiaoliang, who gave a concluding speech to the players in the locker room after the game and encouraged everyone to challenge all powerful opponents in the away game, Ten Hag felt a little more subtle emotion in his heart.
Don't wait until the next day, after 5 minutes after the game, his wonderful shots, those shots of motivating his teammates on the field, including the shot of Fred's buttocks, and the moments when he raised his hand and made tactical gestures, were overwhelming. spread across the Internet.
As the head coach, Ten Hag led the team to say whether it is short or long. Unlike Gerrard, he was a top player when he was a professional player. He is the absolute core of the team and the leader of the locker room.
He is also not like Mourinho, who has brought the best group of players and the biggest clubs in the world.
Ten Hag has never met a player like Chen Xiaoliang. He is different from Ronaldo, B Fei, and Casemiro, not to mention De Ligt, Frankie De Jong, etc. people.
He also had to ask his seniors for advice.
After returning to the Carrington base after the game, the team disbanded on the spot. The next two weeks are the national team competition cycle. For the few players who do not have the national team, such as Chen Xiaoliang, De Gea, etc., Ten Hag also gave A day off.
Since it was an afternoon game, it was still early when I got home. Chen Xiaoliang, who never went to nightclubs to celebrate, stayed at home and watched the replay of the game excitedly with Cesko, Kwa, Livakovic and others who lived nearby. The inner feelings on the field at that time.
A good game is naturally worth repeating.
The next day, the club sent a notice, and the invitation letter of the "French Football" magazine under the "L'Equipe" was sent again:
"To the respected Manchester United, Mr Chen Xiaoliang:
诚挚的邀请您，于2023年10月29日晚19点，出席位于巴黎夏特莱剧院举行的第68届金球奖颁奖典礼。
EPA Group, "L'Equipe" and "French Football"
The specific itinerary and dress code are attached at the back.
It is said that it will arrive at night, but as before, a separate hotel suite and private car transfer are arranged.
Chen Xiaoliang, who has won the Copa Award once and the 10th Golden Globe Award once, understands that living in a room is basically equivalent to winning a prize...
Because not to mention the 10th place in the Golden Globe Awards, it is the 2nd place. They all belong to the kind that does not need to go on stage to win awards. In theory, not attending the ceremony will not have much impact, so as long as the itinerary and dress meet the requirements, it is really okay to arrive at the scene at 19:[-] no problem.
But the award-winning guests are different. The organizer will inform you of the award one day in advance, and then pre-assign a special person to coordinate the awarding process, various details, seats in the audience, and confirm the time of the award-winning speech, etc.
Therefore, the award-winning trophy needs to arrange a hotel room.
Chen Xiaoliang, who usually doesn't worry too much about this matter, is now looking forward to the ceremony that is less than a week away. He specifically checked the Internet. At this time, the odds between him and Messi winning It's already even, and it's all 1 for 1.5!
It would be false to say that I am not excited, but Chen Xiaoliang also took a look at another line of odds. On the "Socrates Award", an award that symbolizes humanity, social welfare and charity, Chen Xiaoliang's odds are 1 to 10, although it looks better than gold The ball prize is much lower, but it occupies the first place...
This... Forget it, he didn't worry about it anymore, anyway, the answer will be revealed soon.
The next day, Chen Xiaoliang went out early in the morning to go for a run with his sisters Hua, Sesko, Kwa, and Livakovic. As long as the weather is not too bad, 60 kilometers in 10 minutes is an option that does not move the radar every day.
In fact, according to his physical strength and speed, especially in the World Track and Field Championships, all marathons can run into the top 30. It is easy to reach a pace of 10-3.5 minutes/km for 4 kilometers, but their morning run is to give Warm up in advance for a day's training, and it is not advisable to consume too much energy, so several people also strictly control the pace.
But I don’t need to train today. I haven’t had a good time in the city since I came to Manchester. I couldn’t stand Erica’s soft-heartedness. A few people rested at home for a while and decided to dress up in disguise. Put on a peaked cap, big sunglasses and loose The sweater, let David drive a few people to the center of Manchester.
Unlike the few of them going to the city, Ten Hag was driving by himself at this time, from Hale Village (Hale Village) in Cheshire to Wilmrose to visit Sir Alex Ferguson.
The cars of both sides met on the road and stopped facing each other at a traffic light.
Kewa's car was driving in front of Chen Xiaoliang's car, and Cesko, who was sitting in the co-pilot, saw at a glance that it was Ten Hahe's car, and immediately dialed Chen Xiaoliang's cell phone and shouted: "Liangzi, look, it's on the other side! coach!"
Chen Xiaoliang was sitting on the co-pilot of his own car, asking his sisters what interesting places there were in Huacheng, when he heard Cesko's words, he looked up, sure enough.
He immediately sent a text message to Ten Hag: "Hey, coach, the weather is rare, let's go to the city for a walk, see you at the training ground tomorrow, I wish you a good day."
Polite and courteous, there is nothing to hide, but there is a little less intimacy and more life.
Ten Hahe didn't have a driver, so he drove by himself. As soon as the traffic light passed, he had no time to type, so he sent a voice message back to Chen Xiaoliang: "Relax, pay attention to safety, see you!"
After listening to this voice, even Erica in the back seat said that this coach is very different from the two "uncles" before.
In her heart, of course, Gerald, who lives and eats with Chen Xiaoliang, is younger, more energetic, and more joking, is the most interesting.
A group of people entered the city, and finally arrived at the largest commercial facility in Manchester, the "Manchester Adele" shopping center under the guidance of the sisters.
Since it was Sunday noon, many stores had just opened, and there were not too many people. It would be lively in the afternoon, but a group of people dressed in the same clothes as ordinary young people were not recognized.
Chen Xiaoliang specifically asked everyone to keep a low profile. Once recognized, they had no choice but to leave quickly.
When I ran to a square, I saw more than a hundred people in front of me, and a loudspeaker was playing the host's shouts and cheerful music to mobilize the atmosphere.
Ali called everyone to join in the fun, pointing to a poster and said curiously: "I know this person, but why does he look a little strange?"
Following her fingers, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
You say he is Hazard, but he doesn't seem to be, you say he is not, he is clearly...
Sesco was also puzzled: "Is this an actor who was recruited to imitate? But it is clearly written on the poster that it is Hazard..."
Chen Xiaoliang took a closer look and laughed loudly: "This is Hazard's younger brother, Kylian Hazard. The two look very similar, but his younger brother plays football very generally. He is currently playing in the Belgian second division. Baker... still belongs to the kind of thousand-year-old iron bench..."
"This company is interesting...what is it doing?"
David heard their chat, and had already squeezed in to get an advertisement. The surrounding was too noisy, and the host could not hear what the host was saying. Only after seeing the advertisement, did everyone know that it was a "Burger King" competition, and the rule was to watch Who eats more hamburgers in the specified time!To put it bluntly, it is the Big Eater Challenge.
No wonder the high imitation version of Hazard is invited to endorse...
Such a boring activity, everyone was about to leave, suddenly, Chen Xiaoliang felt something, he turned around and looked at the crowd, and found that there was also a person looking at him!
Fuck, with a height of 195, although he is wearing sunglasses as big as a gas mask and a hat with a dreadlocks wig, who else can he be with this figure and this posture? !
Why did this guy appear here?
Chen Xiaoliang raised his hand in greeting, and the man also raised his hand in greeting.
Who would have thought that when the two raised their hands, the surrounding crowd would all look over.
"Not good! Did it get discovered?!"
Chen Xiaoliang was startled, and thought that there were probably more than 200 people here, and if they were discovered, they would not be able to leave.
However, Erica's reminder with a smile made him understand that the actual situation was more embarrassing than this:
"The host told you to go up."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Why did you ask me to go up?!"
With a stern humor, David looked around seriously to ensure Chen Xiaoliang's safety, and said coldly: "The host asked who else would participate in today's competition, so you raised your hand yourself."
Chen Xiaoliang: "I..."
He just wanted to say no, but unexpectedly "that person" came onto the stage from the other side, and even stretched out his index finger to make a seductive gesture, provoking Chen Xiaoliang to come on stage.
"Oh shit..."
Chen Xiaoliang immediately passed through the crowd and walked up.
The host introduced himself: "Good afternoon everyone, welcome to the 31st Burger King Challenge in Manchester. I am today's host, Howard Stark!"
Sparse applause from the audience...
The inexplicably named Stark host sent the microphone to the ten contestants one by one. After hearing it, Chen Xiaoliang realized that among the other eight, except for one or two temporary spectators, several of them had also participated in various competitions before. The stomach king challenged a professional player, and he and "that person" belonged to short-circuited brains and bumped into each other by mistake...
The two went up from both sides and stood on both sides of the line respectively. The microphone was first passed to "that person":
"May I ask this young man who is full of hip-hop flavor, what is his name? How old is he this year? Where is he from?"
"The man" paused, and replied: "My name is Eric, I'm 22 this year, and I'm from the Netherlands."
Chen Xiaoliang felt "fuck" again in his heart, wishing he could give that person a middle finger.
This is clearly taking advantage of himself, and he even used Ten Hahe's name and nationality to declare his identity.
Soon, the others finished speaking one by one, and finally came to Chen Xiaoliang.
Host Stark: "Eh? This guy has black hair, is he from Asia?"
Chen Xiaoliang quickly denied: "No, no."
He speaks British English that is more standard than the British, making it difficult to connect him with Asians.
Host Stark: "Wow! At first glance, I think you look a bit like Manchester United star Chen Xiaoliang! Are you his fan?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Yes, yes, he is my favorite."
"That person" burst out laughing.
The audience under the stage rustled: "Don't tell me, it really looks a bit like it."
"Ah, there are a lot of people imitating Chen Xiaoliang now. The handsome guy who has both Eastern and Western aesthetics is online. If you don't imitate him, can you imitate the ugly one of Harland?"
"That makes sense...too bad I don't have black hair..."
"That person" who couldn't help laughing just now clenched his fists with both hands...
The host Stark asked again: "What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?"
Chen Xiaoliang was ready a long time ago: "My name is Alfinger, I am from Stavanger, Norway, and I am 19 years old."
After finishing speaking, he spoke in authentic Norwegian.
"That person" couldn't help but spit out: "Thank you..." Then he shut up quickly, and the "special" behind it was not said.
Chen Xiaoliang laughed heartily, you pretended to be my coach, I'll just be your father, let's see who takes advantage of who!
Then the host explained a bunch of rules. In short, when 10 people sit down and there are hamburgers in front of them, see who eats the most within 3 minutes. There are water and seasonings on the side to help them swallow. The three of them participated in the second round. In addition to the £1000 bonus, the final champion will get a trophy for the top three. The funny thing is that the shape of the trophy is the same as that of the Champions League trophy... except that the logo of UEFA on it has been changed. Became a big hamburger...
The two ignored it before they sat down. There was no winner last night, and today they must compete!
"Beep!" A whistle sounded, and the game began!
Chen Xiaoliang grabbed the hamburger in front of him and put it in his mouth. He usually eats an astonishing amount. The mechanism equivalent to two tubes of physical strength every day makes his food intake almost twice that of other players. Burgers, just put them in your mouth and swallow them in a few bites.
Seeing him gobbling it up, all the sisters in the audience were laughing. Although they didn't know why Chen Xiaoliang was fighting so hard, the way he wanted to win was so different from the easy-going look in his daily life, it seemed very funny .
Only David couldn't help but smile while looking around with high nervousness, ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time.
5...10...15...
Because the two are strong and tall, the way they picked up the hamburger and delivered it to their mouths was not too cruel. The audience off the court was originally in a slump, but when they were messed with, they immediately became excited.
"Eat! Eat! Hurry up!"
"Eat more! No money!"
"I knew I would go up too, it seems to be quite delicious."
"Come on!"
...
"Beep!"
After 3 minutes, Chen Xiaoliang swallowed his last mouthful, and immediately looked at the other end of the long table.
Burger Hill seems to have dropped as much as I did.
After a brief communication between the host and the scoring referee, the results of the 10 people came out quickly.
Chen Xiaoliang ate 3 in 18 minutes, and "that man" also ate 18, but they could only tie for second place. The first player was a middle-aged uncle with a big belly, who ate 2.
The three advanced to the finals.
The final time is still 3 minutes, but the burger has changed from the "Big Mac" with two steaks to the "Ruthless King" with four steaks.
Chen Xiaoliang is actually a bit full... Even though he has two tubes of physical strength and twice the food intake, these 18 food intake is still unattainable for ordinary people.
But he glanced at "that man" sitting on the left of the middle-aged uncle, who seemed to be still eager to try and gear up. He gritted his teeth, rubbed his belly, drank his saliva, showed the confidence to win, and shouted that he was The most powerful slogan before the game:
Go Nimad!
Hamburger!
hiccup~
"Hahahaha!"
Kewa and Cesko supported each other, laughing so much that they were about to cry, and the tears couldn't be stopped at all. Helena was worried that Chen Xiaoliang would be spoiled, but she also covered her mouth.
We are professionally trained and generally don't laugh unless we can't help it.
"Beep!"
The host Stark whistled again, and the only three people on the stage began a decisive battle amidst the cheers of the audience!
"another one!"
"not enough!"
"another one!"
Chen Xiaoliang sneaked a peek at "that person", while grabbing with both hands, both hands were hard, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
When he ate for 2 minutes, he couldn't hold it anymore, and seeing "that person"'s hand slowed down, the two looked at each other through the sunglasses, as if they said to each other: "Why don't you forget it?"
But the "expression" between the eyebrows did not stop the movement of the hand, Chen Xiaoliang saw that "the man" was still sending it to his mouth, so his hand did not dare to delay for a moment.
"Beep~~~"
A long whistle sounded, and the game was finally over!
The two spread out on the chair as if they were relieved, belching and rubbing their stomachs non-stop.
The referee makes quick statistics, and the host announces the results!
"From Norway...this...excuse me, what's your name?"
Chen Xiaoliang was so angry that he opened his mouth forcibly, fearing that the hamburger would spit out if he spoke loudly: "Hi'er~ Alfinger, from Norway...Hi'er~ Stavanger City!"
Host Stark: "Okay! This Mr. Alfinger ate 14 in the final!"
A decline in the record is inevitable, after all, I can't eat anymore...
Then the host walked up to "that person":
"Mr. Eric from the Netherlands, he ate... 14 in the final!"
"Fuck!" Chen Xiaoliang was startled, turned his head to look at "that person", and found that the other person was also looking at him.
What the two of them are thinking at the moment is, don't worry about overtime, I really can't eat it!
Host Stark: "Finally, Mr. Keane from Manchester, he ate in the final..."
"22!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Keen for being the champion of this year's Burger King competition!"
Chen Xiaoliang and "that man" looked at the uncle in the middle, thinking: "What?! This middle-aged uncle can eat so much?!"
And this uncle named Kean, who also wore sunglasses and a peaked cap, was still wiping his mouth lightly, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.
Later, a man wearing a hamburger coat first presented the bonus and the trophy to the uncle. The uncle waved to the audience in a graceful manner. Big applause.
But then there was a problem...
A runner-up trophy and a third runner-up trophy, but the two are tied, how can this be done?
The host asked the two if there was anyone who didn't mind and was willing to take the No.3 trophy, and the two said in unison: "NO!"
The host was taken aback for a moment, and then asked if he wanted an overtime game.
This time the two answered more firmly and quickly: "NO!!!"
In the end, they could only make a compromise. The two of them hold the trophy side up and take a photo, and then the runner-up and the third runner-up will receive a prize of 300 pounds...
Just lifting the trophy is restless, the two of them each hold the handle on one side, you use force, I use force, just after the photo was taken, the plastic trophy cracked...
"WOW..."
There was an exclamation from the audience.
In the end, the prize of 300 pounds was also ignored, saying that it would be donated to charity, and then the two walked off the stage with the satisfied uncle.
Just when he was about to leave, the uncle stopped the two of them: "Don't go, I'll tell you who you two are when you leave."
"Um?!"
Chen Xiaoliang and "that person" were startled. If their real bodies were to be announced here, they would be in big trouble. They couldn't even run fast after eating a stomach full of hamburgers.
Chen Xiaoliang quickly looked at David, signaling him to take measures to deal with the intruders, but David followed behind with a smile on his face.
When Chen Xiaoliang looked at Sister Hua and the others again, he was not at all nervous.
Walking to a deserted corner, the uncle took off his glasses, and Chen Xiaoliang and "that man" suddenly realized.
"Fuck! Riise! It's you! How the hell are you so good at eating?!"
Riser laughed: "I didn't expect the two of you to go up, Erlin, why do you have the time to hang out? Don't you go to the national team?"
"That man" took off his sunglasses, and the sisters and the others understood why Chen Xiaoliang was working so hard. It turned out to be Harland!
Harland: "Hi... too many games, the national team didn't call me up for the friendly match, and let me have a good rest in Manchester. Raise your hand to participate. I absolutely cannot watch him take the trophy!"
Riise is not only Chen Xiaoliang's agent, but also Haaland's seniors in the national team, while old Harland and Solskjaer are Riise's seniors in the national team, so the relationship between Riise and the Harland family can be regarded as good.
Harland: "Chen, I didn't lose to you."
Chen Xiaoliang: "You must be sick from riding a horse! Did I lose?!"
Two people: "Hi'er~"
Everyone: "Hahahaha!"
The two sighed. Although they were tired, this special contest was also very interesting.
Erica asked mischievously, "Uncle Reese, what are you going to do with your £1000?"
Riise smiled and patted his stomach: "Can I invite you to dinner?"
Erica: "Okay, okay, we're still hungry! What's for dinner?"
Riise looked at Chen Xiaoliang and Harland, and put on his sunglasses again: "What are you eating, eat a hamburger!"
Chen Xiaoliang and Harland: "Don't mention the word hamburger...I'm going to die..."
On the other side, in the Wilmlows manor, Sir Ferguson was chatting with Ten Hag. On the table in front of them was a bottle of rare red wine. Collecting red wine and buying racehorses were Ferguson's two major hobbies.
Ferguson: "So, I've said so much, you should be able to let go, Eric."
Ten Hag nodded.
In addition to the routine board of directors, Ferguson has rarely actively communicated with the current head coach since his retirement, especially Mourinho, Van Gaal and others are famous coaches themselves and have their own distinctive coaching style.
This is completely contrary to the rumors that people listen to politics behind a curtain.
I think when Moyes was coaching, the players in the team found it difficult to accept many things about Moyes, which also led to inevitable confusion.
For example, before the start of the season, the Manchester United team played a summer warm-up match on the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. At that time, Moyes asked the players to jog on the beach, and the players immediately put forward different opinions.
With Manchester United's popularity, training in public like this would quickly attract fans and lead to chaos.
The security guard who accompanied the team also expressed the same opinion, saying to Moyes, "You are no longer in Everton, this is a giant".
Moyes didn't listen to everyone's advice and insisted on jogging on the beach. In the end, just 5 minutes later, the whole team was still stretching, and dozens of fans rushed over after hearing the news, and even called their friends to say hello People come to watch and take pictures.
In view of safety, the security immediately canceled the training. This incident also made the players feel that he could not adapt to the giants from the very beginning after Moyes took over.
Evra, the boss of the team, called Ferguson specifically for this and asked him to come forward to help Moyes, but Ferguson's original words were:
"I will consider your suggestion, and I will find a way to talk to him. But he is my personal choice. This is the biggest opportunity in his life. I don't think I should give him too much guidance on his work. , I will still keep a proper distance, which is fair to him."
Since then, he has rarely been directly involved in team affairs unless he was working within the scope of the director's responsibilities. Coupled with the Glazer family and his own health problems, as a non-equity and non-executive director appointed by the board of directors, in fact his power It is also very small, more like Sir Bobby Charlton, who had not yet suffered from Alzheimer's disease, played a role in connecting fans and maintaining the relationship between all walks of life in British football.
After Ten Hag came to Manchester United, this is the second time that the Dutchman took the initiative to find Sir Alex Ferguson. The last time was on the eve of the League Cup final last season. The doubts about some details of the final also received the full support of Sir Alex.
Ten Hag: "I can understand, but I hope that when it comes to the critical moment, I mean, if it happens, you can support me."
Ferguson: "I will, Eric, I will, if someone is above the club, as long as I am alive, I will."
"But please also believe that this kid is still young, but the leadership he has shown is absolutely unprecedented. I told you a lot about Roy Keane. Believe me, you know, on the pitch. The players, especially the core players, should be given considerable freedom to control the game by themselves."
"I've called Keane the best staff before and I've said he's the commander on the field."
"The kid in front of you will naturally make others submit to him. He is only 19 years old. You should try to trust him. He is helping you."
"The children are different now. I have stopped using hair dryers in the last five or six years of teaching. These children born in the 90s and 00s are very sensitive and have strong self-esteem. The education environment and growth environment are also different. gone."
"I am a descendant of the working class. I grew up in an environment where my father was full of profanity and alcohol, so when the head coach treated me in the same way, I later treated that group of players in the same way. Something's wrong."
"But now you try? You try to say something slightly racist to a player, or something that involves abusive family members. It is very likely that they will apply for a transfer the next day, and then ask you to apologize publicly in the media."
"Eric, you have to think about it, these things that are inconvenient for you to do, this kid has done everything for you in the locker room. He is helping you, whether on or off the court, trust me."
"At Manchester United, the word BOSS means to control everything, not just tactics. You can't even limit whether a 19-year-old kid can pass 20 meters or 40 meters on the field to make them believe in you. judge, and trust their judgment.”
"Really, I assure you with my coaching experience for so many years, you have met one of the best staff, hundreds of times better than Roy Keane."
Ten Hag nodded. He was struggling to hear Ferguson's Scottish accent, but he understood the meaning.
Soon, Ten Hag drove away amid repeated thanks.
Ferguson, who was standing at the door waving, heard his wife Cathy's question:
"What do you think of him?"
Ferguson hesitated: "It's hard to say, but he is a very smart person, willing to learn, willing to think, and has a way of handling personnel affairs. He can minimize the damage of Ronaldo's child in all aspects. It is not easy. .”
"But he lacks something. This lack is something that Guardiola, Mourinho and Klopp have firmly attached to their souls after years of hard work. This can only be obtained by himself. gone."
"Yes, only by himself."
